McIntosh (knee) was listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game versus the Ravens, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

McIntosh was designated to return to practice Wednesday after spending the first eight weeks of the season on IR with a knee injury. While the 23-year-old was a full participant in each practice Week 9, it appears he may not be fully ready to suit up for Sunday's game against Baltimore. McIntosh will also need to be activated to the 53-man roster in order to suit up against the Ravens, though he'd likely see little offensive playing time with fellow running backs Kenneth Walker, Zach Charbonnet and DeeJay Dallas all healthy.

Miller is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears due to an illness, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Miller was unable to practice Friday due to the ailment, leaving his availability up in the air for Sunday's contest. Even if available, the 21-year-old is unlikely to have a notable offensive role since Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams are both healthy.

Jones (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game versus the Rams.

For a second straight week, Jones avoided a designation on the Packers' final injury report of the week, but the team is humming a different tune regarding the running back this time around. After saying last Friday that he didn't think Jones was "100 percent by any stretch," coach Matt LaFleur told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com this Friday that Jones "looked good, had a good week," and he's "ready to cut him loose." If Jones indeed is back to form, he could be good for his typical workload, which amounted to 16.6 touches for 92.3 yards from scrimmage per game and 47 total touchdowns in 62 games from 2019 through 2022.

Mitchell (hamstring) has no injury designation for Week 9 and will play in Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

The rookie has played two offensive snaps all season, registering zero rushing attempts while catching his lone target for nine yards. Gus Edwards and Justice Hill should continue to handle the backfield work for Baltimore.

Pierce (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

With Pierce, who didn't practice this week, officially ruled out, Devin Singletary is in line to lead the Texans backfield Sunday, a context that puts him on the Week 9 fantasy lineup radar. In the mix for complementary touches this weekend will be Mike Boone, with Dare Ogunbowale in reserve. Pierce now will target a potential return to game action Sunday, Nov. 12 against the Bengals.

Singletary's expected to handle the bulk of the backfield workload Sunday against the Buccaneers, as Dameon Pierce (ankle) has been ruled out.

Singletary started the season as Pierce's backup but worked his way into a timeshare over the past two games, due in large part to Pierce's struggles. With Pierce sidelined, Singletary will get a chance to showcase his skills in a lead role, though he'll be doing so against a Tampa Bay defense that has allowed just one scrimmage touchdown to a running back all season. Mike Boone and Dare Ogunbowale will round out Houston's Week 9 backfield depth chart.

Demercado (toe) was ruled out for Sunday's contest at Cleveland, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

After sitting out the entirety of Week 9 prep, Demercado will miss the first game of his career due to a toe injury. With the undrafted rookie sidelined, James Conner (knee) still on injured reserve and Damien Williams (foot) on the practice squad injured list, the Cardinals backfield options have been whittled down to Keaontay Ingram and Tony Jones on the active roster and Corey Clement and Hassan Hall on the practice squad. Demercado's next chance for game action arrives Sunday, Nov. 12 against the Falcons.

Ford (ankle) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

Ford upgraded to full participation Friday after being limited Wednesday and Thursday. He injured his ankle in Week 7 against the Colts and played through the injury in Week 8 against the Seahawks, though Ford handled only nine carries compared to 14 for Kareem Hunt and 10 for Pierre Strong. Hunt and Strong could remain involved Sunday, but if Ford's close to full health, he'll likely reclaim the lead back role in a Browns offense that will be welcoming back starting quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder).

Barkley (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's contest in Las Vegas, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Barkley endured practice limitations during Week 9 prep due to a listed ankle injury, which likely was maintenance related due to the high-ankle sprain that sidelined him Weeks 3 through 5. With his status confirmed for Sunday, he'll be looking to continue a stretch in which he's been the only reliable offensive option for the Giants. Over the last three games, Barkley has piled up 344 yards from scrimmage and one receiving touchdown on 91 touches.

Mixon (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Bills after practicing fully Thursday and Friday.

After being limited Wednesday, back-to-back uncapped sessions have Mixon trending upward ahead of Sunday night's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Given that he's been able to work fully twice in a row, Mixon's Week 9 status doesn't appear in much danger despite the questionable designation, with Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer relaying that coach Zac Taylor noted Friday of Mixon that "he'll be good. He was just sore."
